[Gender reassignment from female to male : Phalloplasty].
Review in Der Urologe. Ausg. A, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe increasing prevalence of gender dysphoria necessitates an evaluation of the literature of phalloplasty techniques for female to male transgender individuals.
objectiveThe following article provides an overview of the current surgical concepts and complications of phalloplasty, associated urethrogenitoplasty and the implantation of prostheses in phalloplasty. MATERIAL AND
methodsCurrent international reviews and original publications from 2010 to 2020 were reviewed and correlated with our referral center experience with more than 350 female to male transgender patients over the last 25 years.
resultsFree radial forearm flap phalloplasty is the most widely used technique, followed by an anterolateral thigh flap (ALT flap) and pedicled or microsurgical transplantation. Hydraulic multicomponent prostheses are given preference and supplementary surgical techniques, such as scrotoplasty and glans sculpturing can make sense or be necessary. The complication rates after phalloplasty and after insertion of penile prostheses are substantial. Nevertheless, the overall patient reported satisfaction rate in the majority of studies is often over 80%.
conclusionDue to the increasing prevalence of gender dysphoria there is currently a need for interdisciplinary referral centers for gender reassignment surgery. A certain standardization of surgical techniques and timing would be desirable but a review of the current literature shows a high heterogeneity so that this cannot be derived from the currently available literature. It is hoped that the recently founded S2K guideline committee on operative treatment of gender dysphoria under the auspices of the German Society for Urology and the Society for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery can report an initial collection of experiences in 2021.
